大规模模拟在科学和工业中发挥着核心作用。当构建仿真软件时，会遇到一些挑战，因为仿真需要在动态构建过程中开发复杂的软件。这就是为什么仿真软件工程（SSE）最近成为一个研究热点。一方面是可伸缩性和效率（SE），另一方面是可维护性和可移植性（MP），两者之间的二分权衡是核心挑战之一。我们在正在进行的系统文献综述（SLR）的背景下报道SE/MP权衡。在用我们自己的研究中的两个例子描述了SE/MP权衡的问题之后，我们(1)回顾了33篇评估权衡的确定文章，(2)总结了权衡的建议解决方案，(3)讨论了SSE和未来工作的发现。总的来说，我们看到了SE/MP权衡和第一解决方案方法的证据。然而，尚未建立强有力的经验基础；必须开发支持软件开发人员处理权衡的通用定量度量和方法。我们预计未来科学界将在SSE领域开展大量工作。
Large-scale simulations play a central role in science and the industry. Several challenges occur when building simulation software, because simulations require complex software developed in a dynamic construction process. That is why simulation software engineering (SSE) is emerging lately as a research focus. The dichotomous trade-off between scalability and efficiency (SE) on the one hand and maintainability and portability (MP) on the other hand is one of the core challenges. We report on the SE/MP trade-off in the context of an ongoing systematic literature review (SLR). After characterizing the issue of the SE/MP trade-off using two examples from our own research, we (1) review the 33 identified articles that assess the trade-off, (2) summarize the proposed solutions for the tradeoff, and (3) discuss the findings for SSE and future work. Overall, we see evidence for the SE/MP trade-off and first solution approaches. However, a strong empirical foundation has yet to be established; general quantitative metrics and methods supporting software developers in addressing the trade-off have to be developed. We foresee considerable future work in SSE across scientific communities.
